Summary
New-ID: NBI21 Matthews Vegetations and Cultivation Intensity dataset shows vegetation types and cultivation intensity. Africa Matthews Vegetation & Cultivation Intensity Dataset Files: AFMVEG.IMG Code: 100016-001 AFMCULT.IMG 100030-001 Raster Members These IMG files are in IDRISI format The Matthews Vegetation ... and Cultivation intensity Dataset was developed by the World Data Center-A (WDC-A) for Solid Earth Geophysics, operated by the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). It is a rasterised version of VEGFAO2.E00. The dataset is part of the World Data Bank II. This data Bank is provided on a Database on diskette called The Global Change Data Base. The Data Bank II is part of larger project called Global Ecosystems Database Project. This is a cooperation between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NGDC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The National Center for Geographic Information and Analyses (NCGIA) in Santa Barbara, California joined the project to assist with training and evaluation. A nominal 10 arc-minute scale was chosen to provide compatibility with other scales and because this corresponds closely with the resolution of global AVHRR coverage. All data are provided in geographic (longitude/latitude) projection. The dataset is accompanied by an ASCII documentation file which contains information necessary for use of the dataset in a GIS or other software. Contact : Roy Jenne, NCAR, P.O.
